HS code for Decorative glass panels: 7006.00
Glass of heading no. 7003, 7004 or 7005, bent, edge-worked, engraved, drilled, enamelled or otherwise worked, but not framed or fitted with other materials.
Classification of decorative glass panels under HS 7006.00
HS code 7006.00 applies to glass panels that have been worked beyond the basic manufacturing stages of headings 7003, 7004, or 7005. This includes glass that has been bent, edge-worked, engraved, drilled, or enameled. The critical factor for classification under 7006.00 is that the glass must not be framed or fitted with other materials. If a glass panel is sandblasted to create a decorative pattern or has its edges beveled for aesthetic appeal, it moves from the basic material headings into 7006.00. This code covers both functional and decorative panels used in furniture, partitions, or architectural features. However, if the glass is toughened (tempered) or laminated, it may be classified under 7007 instead. The classification under 7006.00 recognizes the additional labor and processing applied to the glass sheet while it remains a semi-finished component rather than a completed decorative object like a vase. It is a material-based classification that focuses on the state of the glass sheet itself.

Codes often confused with 7006.00
Common mistake. Decorative glass panels are often misclassified under 7005, which covers basic float glass. Once the glass is drilled or edge-worked, it must move to 7006.00. Another common error is 7007.11 or 7007.19, which are for safety glass. If the decorative panel is also tempered for safety, 7007 takes precedence over 7006.00. Finally, if the panel is framed in wood or metal, it can no longer stay in 7006.00 and may be classified as furniture under 9403 or as a finished decorative article under 7013.

How these figures are built
109 countries reported 2025 trade to UN Comtrade in HS 2022, and their own totals are used. Countries marked * did not, so their figures add up what other countries recorded trading with them, and their exports are valued at buyers' CIF prices. Those estimates miss trade with other non-reporting countries, so they can be low, and a non-reporting country can rank higher than shown or be missing from the list. World totals add both and leave out trade between two non-reporting countries. UN Comtrade records Taiwan as "Other Asia, not elsewhere specified". Saudi Arabia's exports under that code are left out: they are far too large to be trade with Taiwan, so mostly undisclosed partners. Figures are in current US dollars; reported imports are mostly valued CIF and exports FOB, and exports include re-exports. The UN Comtrade links show the underlying records; they can also list a few reporters left out here (regional groups and older HS editions).
